Shades of Blue Song Lyrics

As seven ticks to eight 'o' clock, he rumbles down the stairs
Mother's cooking in her kitchen, father's in his chair
The headline on the front page reads, "The sun's coming out today"
Shining down in perfect streaks, it's anywhere, USA

With eyes wide open
The sky is always a thousand shades of blue
Probably broken, lost and lonely
We're all just shades of you

Can't you hear the school bells singing? Hurry, don't be late
Wandering the crowded hallways, searching for his place
The writing on the chalk board reads, "Who will be king this year?"
And even though he raised his hand, no one knows he's there
